The Caribbean in Spain. Curatorship, Regional Idendity and Postcoloniality in the Iberian Context.
Abstract
This paper analyzes three exhibitions of Caribbean art organized in Spain between the 90s and the 2000s: Caribe Insular: Exclusión, Fragmentación y Paraíso; Islas; and Utrópicos. Centroamérica y Caribe. XXXI Bienal de Pontevedra. Through the revision of the curatorial assets present in each project, the article complicates the relation between the regional and national identities of each context, the institutional politics present in it, and the curatorial approximations to the Caribbean. In this sense, the link between the different visions of the Caribbean region defined in each exhibition and the geo-cultural coordinates of each Iberian context will be outlined.Downloads
